Re: [CODE4LIB] dc:identifier in Google XML
UOM presumably indicates some sort of identifier from the University of Michigan. UCSC is presumably University of California Santa Cruz. Try going to their library catalogs and see if the numbers that follow line up somehow. If the person who coined these identifiers understood Linked Data, we could click on them to figure it out without hassle.

Re: [CODE4LIB] dc:identifier in Google XML
Dear David, I believe they're codes for universities. UCSC is probably Univ of Calif Santa Cruz. UOM is University of Michigan. (You'll see STANFORD and OCLC in the results also, though OCLC is not a university). I tracked one of items in the ATOM feed to the UM record: http://mirlyn.lib.umich.edu/Record/000680081/Details#tabs The ID you see in the ATOM feed is buried in one of the 974 fields of the UM MARC record.
